About

CERRE continues its series of private breakfast events for policy makers, academia, corporates, national regulators, and other relevant stakeholders operating in the energy, mobility, and digital policy areas.

These private breakfasts provide a unique opportunity for CERRE members to exchange thoughts with invited guests under Chatham House rule. Each session is focused on a timely topic covering the span of CERRE’s policy scope, from energy, sustainability, and mobility to technology, media, and telecommunications, as well as cross-sectoral issues.

At this CERRE breakfast, we will discuss the implementation of the competitiveness agenda and the development of smart industrial policy, the future of competition and digital policies, and European digital sovereignty with one the best shaper of those policies, Michele Piergiovanni, the digital advisor of Commission President von der Leyen.

If you want to know more about these sessions, how to become a member of CERRE, and have the opportunity to join these meetings, contact us.
